The fabulous cast-iron casserole might be astoundingly heavy, but it is quite important to remember to remove it from the oven before taking off the lid.

Else you might end up with yet another quite large and horrid burn on your arm … just a wee bit higher than the last one, which was just slightly higher than the oven gloves (just as the brand new burn is ever-so-slightly higher than the brand new, ever-so-slightly longer, oven gloves).

If I cannot obtain gloves that reach my arm-pit, I need to change my behaviour because ouch and ewwww.
